Alan Viani

Alan Viani was head of the Department of Research at DC37, the largest municipal union in New York City, from 1973 to 1985. He was later involved with resolving the 2005 NYC transit strike.

In 1965, Viani helped lead a strike by over eight thousand workers for the New York City Department of Welfare. The strike was largely successful, as it led to a clear statement of the rights of city employess to collective bargaining. [http://www.sseu371.org/union/history/index.php] It also led to the appointment of Victor Gotbaum as DC37's Executive Director. [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0030013224]
